In our current show there is a lightning effect which I am manually flashing using the bump button on a submaster, in order to match it up with the sound cue. The cue in which this happens has an autofollow into another cue. What I notice is happening is that if I use the bump button just as the autofollow executes, the channel does not go out, but stays on, fading out in the time of the next cue. Unfortunately that is not what lightning should be doing...

Is this a function of the "busking" feature, which takes captured channels and folds them into the show when you take another cue? Should it be affecting a submaster?

thanks for any insights!

I am able to replicate this each time I run the cue. If the bump button is engaged when the autofollow executes, the channel does not release. Is this a bug? In any case, it's ruining my lightning effect.
Also, if it's relevant, there is an effect written into the linked cue.

It's look 25... if it's engaged when cue 77 links into 78, it won't release. Does it every time. I find it puzzling because it doesn't seem to happen with the other submasters.
And I changed Look 25 back to Additive, since changing it to Assertive didn't seem to make any difference.
Thank you!

I'm not at a pc right now so have not looked at your show file (sorry). When changing to Assertive, you may have to close the look prop dialog box and reopen it to change the priority to match you cue list's.
